Local media company OGS has won again – and for three years in a row, actually – at The Pinwheels. This year, OGS (short for Our Grandfather Story) swept the awards in three categories and took home a total of S$15,000 in production grants.
The categories won by OGS included Content Of The Year Award for the video My Final Farewell Before I Die; Best Non-Fiction (Non-scripted) Video for A Foodie’s Final Night With Pancreatic Cancer; and the big one, Content Creator Of The Year.
A total of 564 entries were submitted by digital content creators to vie for the 10 award categories such as the closely watched Best Newcomer Video, and first-ever Most Artistic Video categories.
“The Pinwheels continues to shine a spotlight on the wealth of creativity we have right here at home and provide our local talents with the recognition they deserve,” said Mediacorp’s Chief Talent Officer, Doreen Neo.
The third edition of The Pinwheels awards, held at Harbourfront Centre on Friday evening (Oct 25), was presented by Bloomr.SG, Mediacorp’s content creator network, and supported by YouTube.
Other than announcing the winners, the night’s event also featured electronic-orchestral musical act From Outer Grey by KoFlow as well as performances by Singaporean dance group D’Kingsman, local singer-songwriter Shye, TikTok artiste Josh Makazo, singer WHYLucas, and samba band Qara Rosa Batucada.
